WHAT YOU'VE FOUND . . .

Antonella Taiocchi got in touch to point out the increase in Aircoach fares to Dublin Airport. "It used to be 6 for a single ticket and 10 the return ticket, but from April 1st it rose to 7 for the single and 12 for the return ticket. Not bad, is it? Only 20 per cent more!"

Aircoach says this is the first increase in the return fare since the service started, in October 1999, when a return cost £8 (10.16). It also points out that the service is now more frequent, with better coaches, and extends to Sandyford, in south Co Dublin.
